Rhubarb
A WebSocket library optimized for multiplayer JS games
Rhubarb is a lightweight WebSocket library for multiplayer HTML5 games. It is originally designed to be used by the ROYGBIV Engine. However, it can be used outside of ROYGBIV as well. Javascript is slow, therefore we want to have as much main-process-power as we can in order to do game related calculations, graphics rendering and achieving 60 FPS. For multiplayer games achieving 60 FPS gets even more complicated given that transferring data over WebSockets is a slow operation. It also triggers GC activity by copying the transferred data (if JSON is the preferred way), which eventually slows down the main thread as well. -

Tyrus
Eclipse Tyrus is the open source JSR 356 - Java API for WebSocket
Eclipse Tyrus is the open source JSR 356 - Java API for WebSocket reference implementation for easy development of WebSocket applications.Eclipse Tyrus is also a Jakarta WebSocket 2.0 compatible implementation. WebSocket protocol defined by IETF provides bi-directional communication between the server and the remote host. The pros are mainly the ability to communicate both ways, low latency and small communication overhead. Therefore Tyrus and WebSocket in general are suitable for web applications that require sending a huge volume of relatively small messages like online games or market ticker broadcasting. -

Socket.IO-client Java
A Socket.IO client library for Java
This is the Socket.IO Client Library for Java, which is simply ported from the JavaScript client. The latest artifact is available on Maven Central. There are several ways to handle events that are transmitted between the server and the client. Add the listener function to the end of the listeners array for the event named eventName. Add a one-time listener function for the event named eventName. Remove the specified listener from the listener array for the event named eventName. Remove all listeners for the specific eventName. Remove all listeners (for any event). Besides emitting and listening to events, the Socket instance has a few attributes that may be of use in your application. Each new connection is assigned a random 20-characters identifier. -

Proxyee is a JAVA-written HTTP proxy server library that supports HTTP, HTTPS, and WebSocket protocols, and supports MITM (Man-in-the-middle), which can capture and tamper with HTTP, and HTTPS packets. The CA certificate (src/resources/ca.crt) from the project needs to be imported to a trusted root certificate authority. The CA certificate (src/resources/ca.crt) from the project needs to be imported to a trusted root certificate authority. You can use the CertDownIntercept interceptor to enable the web certificate download feature. -

ws
Tiny WebSocket library for Go
Zero-copy upgrade. No intermediate allocations during I/O. Low-level API which allows building your own logic of packet handling and buffers reuse. High-level wrappers and helpers around API in wsutil package, which allow to start fast without digging the protocol internals. Existing WebSocket implementations do not allow users to reuse I/O buffers between connections in clear way. This library aims to export efficient low-level interface for working with the protocol without forcing only one way it could be used. Library is tagged as v1* so its API must not be broken during some improvements or refactoring. Example applications using ws are developed in separate repository ws-examples. We can apply the same pattern to read and write structured responses through a JSON encoder and decoder.Zero-copy upgrade helps to avoid unnecessary allocations and copying while handling HTTP Upgrade request. -

IXWebSocket
websocket and http client and server library, with TLS support
IXWebSocket is a C++ library for WebSocket client and server development. It has minimal dependencies (no boost), is very simple to use and support everything you'll likely need for websocket dev (SSL, deflate compression, compiles on most platforms, etc...). HTTP client and server code is also available, but it hasn't received as much testing. It is been used on big mobile video game titles sending and receiving tons of messages since 2017 (iOS and Android). It was tested on macOS, iOS, Linux, Android, Windows and FreeBSD. Two important design goals are simplicity and correctness. -

FACIL.IO
Your high performance web application C framework
facil.io is an evented Network library written in C. facil.io provides high performance TCP/IP network services by using an evented design that was tested to provide an easy solution to the C10K problem. facil.io includes a mini-framework for Web Applications, with a fast HTTP / WebSocket server, integrated Pub/Sub, optional Redis connectivity, easy JSON handling, Mustache template rendering and more nifty tidbits. facil.io powers the HTTP/Websockets Ruby Iodine server and it can easily power your application as well. facil.io is easy to code with and aims at minimizing the developer's learning curve. In addition to detailed documentation and examples, the API is unified in style and the same types and API used for HTTP requests is used for JSON and Mustache rendering - so there's less to learn. facil.io should work on Linux / BSD / macOS (and possibly CYGWIN) and is continuously tested on both Linux and macOS. -

Gorilla WebSocket
Fast, well-tested and widely used WebSocket implementation for Go
Gorilla WebSocket is a Go implementation of the WebSocket protocol. The Gorilla WebSocket package provides a complete and tested implementation of the WebSocket protocol. The package API is stable. An application can also send and receive messages using the io.WriteCloser and io.Reader interfaces. To send a message, call the connection NextWriter method to get an io.WriteCloser, write the message to the writer and close the writer when done. To receive a message, call the connection NextReader method to get an io.Reader and read until io.EOF is returned. The WebSocket protocol distinguishes between text and binary data messages. Text messages are interpreted as UTF-8 encoded text. The interpretation of binary messages is left to the application. The Gorilla WebSocket package passes the server tests in the Autobahn Test Suite using the application in the examples/autobahn subdirectory. -
